Turck AS-interface Speed Monitor

TURCK introduces a new AS-interface (AS-i) speed monitor that monitors safety speed and stop conditions on up to two axes. The speed monitor, manufactured by Bihl+Wiedemann, is part of the large range of AS-i safety products distributed by TURCK in the United States.

The speed monitor may be quickly programmed using a confi guration push-button or by using AS-i control tools. When the speed falls below the designated threshold, the device sends a signal to AS-i. An integrated chip card records the programmed parameters so the device does not require reprogramming when accessing the machine after a controlled stop.

Phoenix Contact Nanoline GSM Modem

The NLC-COM-GSM communication expansion module allows the Nanoline controller to communicate using the Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) network. This wireless network is the same network that supports cellular phones, providing communication access from virtually anywhere (except Japan). The NLC-COM-GSM allows easy and cost-efficient communication via SMS to remote locations that require simple control capabilities. Examples include: remote pumping or monitoring sites, or any location that has cell phone coverage but does not have pre-existing phone land lines or Ethernet lines.

The Nanoline GSM communication expansion module connects to the left of the Nanoline base station and is configured with the Nanonavigator software. The GSM modem’s non-volatile memory holds up to eight 18-digit phone numbers. These numbers are then transferred to the SIM card installed in the NLCCOM- GSM modem. The modem’s phone book can store up to eight phone numbers that can be configured to receive program messages and/or fault or warning messages. The phone book may also be used to limit access of incoming SMS messages.

The introduction of the GSM modem adds a unique feature to the Nanoline programmable controller family. There is no other nano PLC with an integrated GSM modem. Sending an SMS message is just as easy as sending a message to the optional Nanoline LCD operator panel.

The GSM modem offers an innovative approach by integrating the modem directly into the Nanoline system, rather than through a serial connection to a third party radio. In addition, the GSM modem will automatically send fault and warning messages and respond to SMS commands to read and write registers, flags, timers, counters and I/O, independently of the application program, completely eliminating this development task.

For the U.S. market, a version with an integrated STANZA SIM card is available (NLC-COM-GSM-USA - part number 2701345).

IDEC Force Guided Relays

IDEC Force Guided Relays are used in safety circuits to detect failures such as contact welding and damage to the contact spring. Contacts of a force guided relay are forced to open and close by a guide connected to the armature. Due to requirements of standard EN50205, a force guided relay has independent NO and NC contacts. If a NO contact welds, a NC contact will not close even when the relay coil is turned off (de-energized) and must maintain a gap of at least 0.5 mm. Furthermore, if a NC contact welds, a NO contact will not close when the relay is turned on (energized) and must maintain a gap of at least 0.5 mm.

Features

• Response time of 8ms ensures safety by turning the load off quickly (200 m/s² minimum).
• Compact size enables size reduction of the PC board.
